Pros: Sharp imagery, Good customer support. Very good price/value.
Cons: Driver not included with monitor. Must download, or use Windows generic.

Pros: very clear, very bright, viewable from all angles, cool looking
Cons: stupid power button
Summary: I have owned this monitor for about a year or so - it's definitely the all-around best display I have ever had. It was inexpensive ($379 when I bought) and yet, I think, the best 15" flat panel one could buy. I have also had a Samsung, which was good, ... read more
